Sometimes, we, the Lebanese citizens, have to get things moving our own way and with our own means. And today is yet another occasion for us to do so. Women in Lebanon have always been subject to discrimination and injustice with inexistent laws to protect them. Today, a parliamentary committee is reading, debating and modifying a law to protect women from family violence. The initial draft of the law that was presented by Lebanese NGOs is soon to be transformed into a law empty from all its essence, not only to maintain the unfair status quo of women in Lebanon, but also, and unfortunately to even worsen their situation. We have to stop that. Join us so we can all contribute to make a real change in women’s rights issues. Let us create a civil movement, a pressure group, each from where she/he stands, online, in the media, in our workplace, homes, universities, and meet on Feb 18th on the street in Beirut to raise our voice and stop domestic violence against women.
